Biography: Born in St. Petersburg, the painter, draftsman and designer Alexander Evgenievich Iacovleff studied at the local Russian Academy of Arts from 1905 to 1913. One of his teachers was Dmitri Kardovski. During his studies, he became a member of the Mir Iskusstvagroup [World of Art]. Along with Kardovski, Nikolai Radlov and Vasily Ivanovich Suchaev, he founded the St. Petersburg Guild of St. Luke. After the October Revolution, he went to France and took the French nationality. In the 1920s, Iacovleff worked as an artistic adviser to the car company Citroen and made several expeditions, including to Madagascar, Syria, Iran, Mongolia and China. His works of this period are therefore often held in the style of Orientalism. From 1934 to 1937, Iacovleff was the head of the department of painting at the Art School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. He spent the end of his life in Capri and Paris. Today, works of Iacovleff are on display in major museum collections, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
